Today's field trip to the St-Lazare sandpit was attended by 21 persons, some new and of course some veterans. On this hot morning, especially in the pit, we managed to find 36 species. We were witness to a Merlin's hunt for shorebirds and as far as we could see, he wasn't successful, it was probably a young bird. - Jean Demers
